Two days after an executive order was signed to protect and expand pesticide production in a country already deeply dependent on glyphosate… I was in New York City speaking about the consequences of our declining microbiome.
The timing felt significant.
We can talk about yield, infrastructure, and national security. But if we truly care about human health, microbial diversity has to be part of the equation.
Many countries have enacted restrictions or proposed phase-outs of glyphosate due to ecological and biological concerns. It is, after all, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial.
Protecting soil biology isn’t fringe.�It’s foundational.
Regenerative farmers are showing us that depleted land can come back to life. Microbial diversity can be restored. Resilience can be rebuilt when we work with ecosystems instead of against them.
When I help restore a patient’s gut microbiome, I’m doing that same work simply on a different scale.
Protect the bugs in the soil.�Protect the bugs in the body.�The terrain matters.
If you’re ready to take a regenerative approach to your own microbiome, I’d love to work with you through my clinic because this is the work I care most about.
P.S. As a West Coaster unexpectedly stranded in NYC during what’s being called a historic blizzard… I suppose I’m experiencing my first true nor’easter. May it be my last. I don’t know how you all do it over here! This is wild, but Central Park is amazing in the snow! I’m simply taking it all in.
